Has anyone ordered parts from Biker Bits. Im curious and were you billed and Duty or Tax Fees.

I've bought parts from them, arrived no problem with nothing extra to pay.

I think there are quite a few of us who have ordered from them. I don't recall ever reading anything bad about them, assuming you mean these guys.

Thank you Im going to convert my pcx to asian or european verision without bunny ears tail light.

I recently ordered a variator drive face and moveable drive face (the two bits either side of the belt) as they price was a fraction of UK prices (really, less than a fifth of the price). Surface mail shipping came to more than the parts and took 3 weeks to arrive but they were original parts well packaged and nothing extra to pay - probably as the declared price was less than the custom threashold. Fitted some days ago.

So, Bikerzbits and Partzilla are both good for UK parts deliveries with reasonable postage.

I've ordered from them twice - nothing but good things to say about them. In the past I've ordered from both BikeBandit and Partzilla but the former isn't shipping internationally due to COVID and the latter seems to have lost the plot on shipping charges down under. BikerzBitz hit the sweet spot - cheap prices - OEM goods - very reasonable shipping. Sometimes takes them a few days to get parts out the door but they always arrive in a few days well packaged. They're going to be my 100% go-to in future.

Thank you so much . Just order a bunch of stuff from them. Going to make conversion from USA to Asian or European headlamp and tail light conversion. No more Bunny ears for me.

I don't think you will have any major problems making the conversion, but make sure you get the european or asian front covers so that you don't have the holes in the side where the stalks go. Are you going to change out the headlights assembly as well? I think the other countries use the empty slots we have as turn signal slots.

I really thought about converting mine, but instead I just drilled out the slots and added more front lights. If you can, investigate swapping the headlight bulbs for LED ones. I couldn't find HS5 LED bulbs that are lower than 50 watts (I think our headlight bulbs are 35 watt), but there are other options. Maybe you can change the the sockets?? Just a thought.

Same here, the HS5 LED bulbs were too bright, pulled to many amps and I couldn't get a good projection out of them. I went back to halogen bulbs. I have also bought from Bikerbits, they legit.

Thanks so much on the info. Just waiting on my order.

I crashed the bike and need a lot of parts for the front, mainly the plastics and front stay, do you think it is worth to order so many parts from Thailand?
The shipping price is quite high, so not sure if to order from BikersBitz or try to find some parts in Europe where the shipping can be cheaper.

You will have to compare to prices from companies in your country. For me here in USA, it's considerably cheaper.

Be aware that as of 1 July 2021 the EU will implement new VAT regulations when ordering something from outside the EU. More info on: https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/b ... ommerce_en - they make it sound as if its an added bonus for end consumers but in reality it boils down to another hefty tax in order to protect European markets (I have no idea since when protectionism started to look so appealing to people in charge of countries / unions etc...).

Aha; https://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/b ... nsumers_en :

as the VAT you pay will serve to build roads, hospitals, schools and will help the COVID-19 recovery efforts.

Covid19 seems to be the perfect excuse for anything lately .
